You'll notice sometimes a film will go right to sponsorship advert 
without the once-usual static bookend frame. It's really horrible as you 
are involved in the film and suddenly you are looking at an advert and 
having to untangle it from your mind. At least the static screen gave 
you notice - "film ending for some publicity waffle" and "okay back to 
the film".

It was also your cue to hit pause on the VCR. :-)


Best wishes,

Rick.
